“They Stole My Life. And They Won’t Even Say Sorry.”
When an innocent person is freed, we like to believe that they’ll be taken care of. That the state will right the wrong.
But in many cases, the government just walks away.
🚨 Nearly 20 states offer no compensation to wrongfully convicted people.
What Do Exonerees Deserve?
✅ Financial compensation for lost years
✅ Mental health services
✅ Job training & education
✅ Housing assistance
But instead, many exonerees leave prison broke, homeless, and struggling to survive.
Which States Fail Exonerees?
❌ Georgia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and 16 other states offer ZERO compensation.
❌ Some states require exonerees to file lawsuits just to get paid.
❌ Many exonerees wait YEARS for compensation, if they get any at all.
🚨 This is unacceptable.
Exonerees deserve restitution for the injustice they suffered. We must demand laws that require states to compensate the innocent.
What Can You Do?
📢 Contact lawmakers & demand compensation laws.
📢 Support organizations fighting for exoneree rights.
📢 Donate to help exonerees rebuild their lives.
Because freedom alone is not enough. Justice must be complete.
Final Thoughts
These blog posts tell the truth about wrongful convictions. But telling the truth isn’t enough. We must act.
🚨 Donate. Advocate. Fight for justice.
Because no one should ever have to fight for a life that was stolen from them.
